On Saturday, we ate breakfast at a bakery, and then went to the Kunsthistoriches Museum. They had a bunch of paintings. there was a whole room full of Bruegels, including two of my favorite, Children's Games, and the Tower of Babel. Another painting I liked was Summer, by Archimboldo. This was one of the four seasons series he did. however, only two paintings remain. the museum also had a cool sculpture of Theseus slaying a centaur.
After lunch, we went to the royal treasury museum at the Hapsburg royal palace, where there were lots of treasures from the Austria-Hungarian Empire. they had a scepter out of "unicorn horn" (or narwhale tusk) as well as royal robes, order of the golden fleece, and several crowns.
